WHERE WE WORK
Justices of the Peace of Ramenki, Prospekt Vernadskogo, Troparyovo-Nikulino and Ochakovo-Matveevskoye
Most "small" court cases of residents of our district never reach the district court. A court order for unpaid utilities, an administrative fine, alimony, a divorce without a dispute over children, a 30,000-rouble claim against a shop: all of these are decided by a justice of the peace (мировой судья). Each precinct has its own territory, address and judge, and not everyone works out where to go on the first try.

Where justices of the peace came from
Russia introduced justices of the peace twice. First in 1864, in the judicial reform of Alexander II, when they handled petty disputes and offences and were elected by local assemblies. The institution was curtailed in 1889 and abolished in 1917.
It returned in modern Russia with Federal Law No. 188-FZ of 17 December 1998 "On Justices of the Peace in the Russian Federation" and Moscow City Law No. 15 of 31 May 2000 "On Justices of the Peace in the City of Moscow". Moscow's justices of the peace are judges of the federal subject, appointed by the Moscow City Duma, and their higher instance is the district court. For the precincts of our district that is the Nikulinsky District Court.
What a justice of the peace hears
- civil claims up to 50,000 roubles, and consumer protection claims up to 100,000 roubles;
- court orders: undisputed claims for debts, utility payments, alimony;
- divorce where there is no dispute over children; division of marital property up to 50,000 roubles;
- administrative offence cases under the Code of Administrative Offences assigned to justices of the peace: driving licence suspension, petty hooliganism, unpaid fines and others;
- minor criminal cases punishable by up to three years' imprisonment, with certain exceptions.

What we do
We set aside court orders that people first learn about from a bailiff; recover debts through order and claim proceedings; handle alimony and divorce cases; appeal administrative rulings of justices of the peace to the Nikulinsky District Court. For companies in the district we run small receivables collection as a pipeline.
Consultations are provided under a contract. We discuss the procedure and fees in the first conversation.
